How easy is it to learn to code? When is the best time to learn?
Having any useful skill earlier is better than later of course, but there’s no reason why a dyed-in-the-wool non-techy can’t learn how to code. I suppose it’s harder to learn anything new the older you are, but if you have an open mind, like problem-solving, precise thinking, are a bit of a pedant and have patience – it’s just a matter of motivation.
However, there are people who simply do not like programming or find it too hard or uncomfortable to think the way a programmer needs to think. Some just don’t have the patience to work this way. It doesn’t suit everyone. The goal is not usually to become a full time programmer, so maybe you have to persist. But ultimately, it’s your call whether you take this path.
